The reviewers describe the Holy Card Tarot as "a fascinating and frequently beautiful correlation of antique holy cards, and the Tarot. Having been fascinated by the imagery of holy cards most of my life, I was predisposed to like the deck, but I was truly struck with how well it works as Tarot. The supporting information on the NEW PRINT COMPANION BOOK is very helpful with those unfamiliar with the imagery. It's a beautiful, and beautifully produced deck that really rewards contemplation. These cards could readily be used for magic and meditation as well as divination. " Thalassa, producer, San Francisco Bay Area Tarot Symposium, founder, Daughters of Divination. Rachel Pollack said, "I love this deck."Others have commented, "A beautiful deck. A must have for any Tarot reader. Corners are nicely rounded, no borders, very good card stock. Presented wonderfully. An outstanding deck." "I am so excited to be using this deck. It is a treasure." "Excellent for contemplation."The deck is 80 cards, 78 Tarot images, plus a title and an artist statement card as extras, just in case of loss of a card. The cards measure 4.75" x 2.75" (standard Tarot size.) quality printed on standard thickness card stock. The cards are hand printed by a small family press, hand cut, with rounded corners, no borders and a smooth silky feel quite unlike the inexpensive plastic coatings on most decks. All cards are full colour. The cards have a iconic beehive symbol on all card backs. The deck and full color fully illustrated book are presented in a sturdy black box with lid, secured with a stretchy gold band. The cards are nestled in a gold drawstring bag, decorated with a gold bee charm. The deck is further enhanced by a tri-fold " key" which easily identifies the images used. The deck is new, and is sealed in shrink wrap. A welcome card explaining the source of the images is also included. The imagery makes reference to all Western religions, from the Western Judeo- Christian tradition. And thus, common spiritual themes that are expressed in the Tarot are discovered to be shared human views of the world experience. As mentioned before, the deck has been updated both in printing and fonts, and the deck's new companion book, "Meditations," is fully color illustrated and reminiscent of an antique prayerThe Holy Card Tarot is a beautiful experience, and one I hope you will want to share.Copyright 2011 PattyGallagherHolyCardTarot ™®
